World Soil Day 2025: Improving Soil Health Through Regenerative Agriculture
Did you know that 95% of our food comes from soils and that soils supply 15 of the 18 naturally occurring chemical elements essential to plants?1
This reinforces the link between sustainable farming methods and living soils. But climate change and human activity are contributing to their degradation and an estimated 33% of the world’s soil is moderately to highly degraded.
The UN’s World Soil Day, observed annually on 5 December is a reminder that urgent, collective action is needed to protect them.
Soil health is the cornerstone of regenerative agricultural transition. Healthy soils store water, cycle nutrients, and buffer against droughts and floods, helping farms adapt to climate change and be more resilient.
Earlier this year, we announced a new 2030 purpose target to source our key raw materials from supply chains engaged in regenerative agriculture, which further reinforces the importance of our work in this field. This new target is part of our overall ambition to contribute to protecting and regenerating biodiversity by 2030.
